 Hi Kristan Lai,

Hope you are talking about Windows file system.

Now there are certain ways to show hidden files.

1) Click on windows button and open run  , than type cmd will open up command prompt for you

• Now , if you know the exact location of the file than by chdir/cd command go to that location and type below command
  • attrib -r -h file_name
• If you , don't know the exavt location of file than apply this command to the directory
  • attrib -r -h *

2) Now, to do this with GUI  . Follow the steps of below image

Thanks,

Sophia Taj
